Application led February 3,1902. Serial No. 92.453. V(No model I -to heat the same, provision being made also for admitting the smoke directly into the smoke-pipe to give a direct draft to the stove when needed.

The invention contemplates a particular construction and arrangement of parts constituting the improved cooking-stove, whereby a saving of fuel is accomplished and special facilities provided for baking. Y

The following specification enters into a detail description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings andA to'letters thereon whichv designate the differ` ent parts, and what is claimed as new is more specifically set forth in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part hereof, Fig-` ure 1 is a front elevation of a cooking-stove.

construction in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sec'- tional view. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectionalv View on the line 3 3 of Fig. l.

Referring to said drawings, A designates the body of the stove, the top A' of which is provided with the usual number of covers or lids a, two of which are located overI the firepot F, while the others are located over *the oven C, a space or smoke-passage being provided between the top of the oven and top of the stove, as hereinafter described. The body of the stove is supported upon feet s, secured to the bottom A2.

At one end of the body of the stove is located the oven C, the front of whichV is provided With a door Cfhinged at its lower end and centrally by means of the hinges c and c and held closed by means of the catch D, having the additional engaging portion d. The hinges o c are provided with stops to support the upper section of the door in a horizontal position, and the bottom portion of the stove may be' provided with a swinging bracket sI` to assist in supporting the lower section of the door ina horizontal position or open. The oven is provided with a shelf C2, supported upon brackets orledges c2, so that it may be removed, if desired.

At the opposi're'end of the body of the stove from the oven G is a warming-chamber E, and between this warming-chamber and the oven is located theiire-pot F, having the grate f, beneath which is the ash-box g. The. front of the ash-box is provided with a door g', having the usual slide g2 to give a draft to the fuel. The Warming-chamber is provided with shelves'e and with a front door E', the latter having a slide e' to admit air into said closet. Said closet is also provided With aslidedamper m at its upper end, leading into the smoke-pipe I, and this damper is operated bythe rod t2, extending through the front of the stove.

Between the top of the oven and top of the stove is a smoke-passage h, and between said oven and the end of the stove is asmoke-passage h', while belowthe oven is a smoke-passage h2, the'latter also extending beneath the ash-box and warming-chamber and at one side of said warming-chamber communicates with the smoke-pipe I. The smoke-pipe ts on a Vcollar t', formed in the lower part of the stove, and the said pipe extends up at one side of said `warming-chamber. Above the Warming-chamber and between the fire-pot and pipeI is a short pipe O, having a slidedamper o, the operating-rod t 0f which projects thr'ough the front of the stove. A slidedamper o is located in the smoke-passage h, adjoining lthe fire-pot, and the operating-rod t of this damper also projects through the front of the stove.

In starting the fire the slide-damper o is closed,.while the slide-damper o inthe short pipe O is opened, and this will give a direct draft, so that a hot fire may be quickly made. After the lire is Well started the damper o is closed and damper 0' opened,so that the smoke will be caused to travel around the oven by Way of the smoke-passages 7L, h', and 7b2 before reaching the smoke-pipe, and this IOC will heat the oven for baking, the rear end of the said oven being also heated by the heat passing up behind the same. This provides that the oven will be heated in every part, so that articles placed within the same will be properly baked. The sectional door for the oven provides for access to the upper part of the saine without opening the lower part also.

The smoke-passage under the Warmingchamber and up one side of the same will also assist in heating said warming-chamber, it being directly heated by its proximity to the tire-pot. The Warming-chamber may be utilized for keeping food warm which has been cooked upon the top of the stove, in which case the damper m is left open and the wheel or damper e' partly opened,so that the fumes will pass into the smoke-pipe. This warming-chamber may be also used for raising bread, in which case the door E' would be left open.

A stove constructed as herein shown and described will provide one that is particularly adapted as a cooking and baking stove, and by providingr the Warming-chamber cooked food may be kept warm until ready to be served, and the fumes will pass into the chimney. The stove will also save fuel, as the fire may be kept low when desired by closing the dampero and partly closing the damper o'.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- In a cooking-stove, the combination, of the oven, the warming-chamber having shelves with openings for the passage of air, a fire-pot and ash-box located between the oven and warming-chamber, smoke-passages extending around the oven and under the warmingchamber, a smoke-pipe communicating with the smoke-passages and extending up at the outer side ofthe Warming-chamber, a damper o in the smoke-passage above the oven, and a smoke-passage above the warming-chamber having a damper o; a damper m at the upper end of the warming-chamber leading into the smoke-pipe, a door to the warming-chamber, and a wheel or damper at the lower end of the door; the dampers o, o' and m having operating-rods extending through the front of the stove, as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I alx my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
